How to treat orchitis

Patient's question:

Left testicular swelling, examination said there is inflammation, currently there is aching pain near the genital area, can't do anything, how to treat orchitis if diagnosed

Doctor's answer:

The main symptoms of orchitis are pain and swelling in one testicle, and some may experience a recurrence of fever. After the symptoms of orchitis reappear, there will be a reduction in the size of the testicle and pain. In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as fever and elevated white blood cell count may also occur.
After developing orchitis, the first step is to administer anti-inflammatory treatment, followed by intravenous fluid therapy, which can speed up recovery. Additionally, underwear should be worn tighter to support the scrotum, which can help reduce pain. A warm towel should be applied to the scrotum daily for cold compress, preferably with a bit of magnesium sulfate, which can slow down the subsidence and absorption of inflammation.
